AND LANDSCAPE |

| In one form or another,
gardens have been with us since man first began to
control and modify his enviroment. |
| As early as 1000 BC, the
Egyptians were already designing and building their
homes and gardens together as integrated units. |
| The Persians, the Arabs, and
the Chinese enjoyed elaborate formal gardens. The Greeks
where the ones who first introduced the garden to Europe
after importing it from Persia and Media during the 3rd
century BC right after the conquests of Alexander the
Great. |
| After the fall of the Greece,
it were the Romans who, during the 2nd and 1st centuries
BC, furthered the art of garden making. |
|
| At the hight of the Roman
Empire, Rome was surrounded by magnificent villas and
opulent gardens while countless of grand country manors
(villa rusticas) with their own gorgeous gardens dottet
the entire spine of Italy from north to south.

|
| The Lecce Stone is a calcareous
rock, that can be used in
architecture and gardening. There are two main types
of stone colou: The Light Yellow Stone, which
is almost golden at the origin, but if the piece is
placed outside, a natural process of stone ageing
takes place which gives it a marvellous antique
looking colour, and the Dark Gray Stone,
which is harder, darker and more difficoult to carve. |
